Hello Peter,

To calculate separate counts, you need as many nodes as counts as you want. You could use an attribute to distinguish from colour=white or colour=black then the calculate expression will be evaluated according to this value.

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xmlns:xf="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms";>
    <head>
        <title>Count colours</title>
        <xf:model>
            <xf:instance>
                <items xmlns="">
                    <item>
                        <colour>black</colour>
                    </item>
                    <item>
                        <colour>black</colour>
                    </item>
                    <item>
                        <colour>white</colour>
                    </item>
                    <count colour="black"/>
                    <count colour="white"/>
                </items>
            </xf:instance>
<xf:bind nodeset="count" calculate="count(../item[colour = current()/@colour])"/>
        </xf:model>
    </head>
    <body>
        <h1>Count colors</h1>
        <xf:repeat nodeset="count">
            <xf:output value="@colour">
                <xf:label>Colour: </xf:label>
            </xf:output>
            &#160;
            <xf:output value=".">
                <xf:label>Count: </xf:label>
            </xf:output>
        </xf:repeat>
    </body>
</html>

Is it what you want to do?

Thanks!

Hello List

This is probably a trivial question, so apologies in advance.

I have an xform for which I want to calculate two or more seperate counts [ e.g. count of nodes where colour=white and another count of the same instance where colour=black]

AFAIK, I can only have one 'calculate' per instance/nodeset. {I would appreciate clarification here}, so the only way that I have been able to do this is to have the same XML instance in two separate models and to have one bind and calculate in one model and the other bind and calculate in the other model.

How should I really do this?

Thanks

Peter
